2 Introduction Dual Diagnosis is a challenging problem for both mental health and substance misuse services. People with mental health problems, who also suffer from substance misuse are at an increased risk of suicide, as well as experience financial and housing problems and are less likely to engage with treatment interventions. 62 The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) in its March 2011 clinical guidance refers to dual diagnosis as, people with psychosis who use drugs and/or drink in a way that is harmful. 63 In NHS Warwickshire, the following local definition has recently been agreed upon: Dual diagnosis is the co-existence of mental illness with substance misuse which has an adverse effect on an individual s biological, psychological and social well-being. 64 National Perspective A new National Drugs Strategy (NDS) 65 was launched by the Government in December 2010, Reducing demand, restricting supply, building recovery: supporting people to live a drug free life. It has three main themes: Reducing demand for drugs, Restricting Supply of drugs, and building recovery in communities. The Strategy presents a new approach to drug treatment by placing the focus on recovery and outcomes rather than on harm reduction and maintenance. For the first time, the Strategy also covers severe alcohol dependency and advocates an integrated approach to treatment provision. Alcohol is considered harmful when it leads to physical or mental health problems such as alcohol related injury, inflammation of the liver or pancreas, or depression. Alcohol can also exacerbate pre-existing mental health problems, relationship problems, problems at work, college or school, or violence. There are obvious difficulties in estimating the numbers living with a dual diagnosis - NICE reports that in the UK, it is thought that the number of people with a potential dual diagnosis is high and possibly rising with community mental health teams typically reporting that 8-15% of their clients have dual diagnosis problems although higher rates may be found in inner cities. 66 However the findings from the 2010 British Crime Survey suggest that about half of patients in drug and alcohol services have a mental health problem, most commonly depression or personality disorder. 67 The National Treatment Agency (NTA) for substance misuse reports figures for 2009/2010 which were published on 07 th October 2010, show there are approx. 320,000 problem drug users in England who are dependent on heroin or crack cocaine, out of which 206,889 adults 62 Department of Health. 2002, Dual Diagnosis - Good Practice Guidance, 63 National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence. 2011, Clinical Guidance Rethink and Turning Point, 2004, Dual Diagnosis Good Practice Handbook 65 Home Office. 2010, Reducing Demand, Restricting supply, Building Recovery: Supporting People to Live a Drug-Free Life 66 Department of Health. 2002, Dual Diagnosis - Good Practice Guidance 67 Royal College of Psychiatrists. 2002, Dual Diagnosis Information Manual.

3 are in contact with treatment services out of which 23,680 adults successfully completed treatment free of dependency. Early drug and alcohol use is related to a host of educational, health or social problems. A third of the adult treatment (drug or alcohol) population have parental responsibility for a child 68. What s Happening in Warwickshire The National Drug Treatment Monitoring System (NDTMS) records information about people receiving treatment for drug misuse in England (i.e. structured community-based services, or residential and inpatient services). Drug treatment data is collected in order to help determine if local drug treatment systems meet the aims and aspirations set out for them by service users, local communities and government. The data in the table below has been taken from the NDMTS shows 1,127 Problem Drug Users in effective treatment in Warwickshire in 2010/2011 which represent 0.2% of the Warwickshire population (based on mid-2009 population estimates).

Episodes where alcohol is cited as the primary substance are excluded from all drug reporting so is not included in PDU figures irrespective of having opiates and/or crack cocaine as their second/third drug. There were 1,109 PDUs in effective treatment in Warwickshire from Mar 2010 till Feb The majority of drug users in treatment are male, heroin users aged Crack is used as a secondary drug by a quarter of heroin users. Cannabis, heroin and cocaine are the main presenting drugs of Tier 2 service users. 68 National Treatment Agency Media Release (2009) Moves to provide greater protection to children living with drug addicts 146

4 Clients In effective treatment are all individuals in contact with Tier 3 or 4 services, during the period in question, who are recorded as having begun a drug treatment intervention and who fulfil either of the following criteria: They were retained in treatment for 12 or more weeks from their triage date They were subject to a planned discharge following a planned exit from their treatment within 12 weeks of their triage date. In 2009/10, current treatment providers received 1,440 referrals and provided tier 3 treatments for 931 alcohol users in Warwickshire.
